The class will teach burgeoning painters to express their emotional response to a landscape in their works. The emphasis will be on creating a luminous sky to invite the viewer in and allow the essence of the day to be shared in a captivating way. The demonstration will be done in oil. However, acrylic, watercolor and pastel are welcome.

Bring a small canvas, prepared board or other surface. Recommended sizes are 8x10 to 12x12, painting supplies and a frame if you have one. Easels and tables will be provided. The cost is $125 and the class is limited to eight people.

River’s Edge Studio is located at 191 Lyman St. Studio 310 in Asheville.
